Fr. Todds Stewardship Reflection As we continue to reflect on stewardship on All Souls Day, I would like to
thank our Bereavement Ministry, the Sunshine Ministry, and all the
numerous people who donate food for the
meals we serve after funerals! Thank you for
all the great work you do behind the scenes to
offer comfort to families mourning the loss of
loved ones.
May the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Fr. Todd
Refelxin de Administracin
por el Padre Todd Hoy Domingo, en la conmemoracin de
Todos los Fieles Difuntos continuamos
reflexionando sobre nuestro servicio a la
Iglesia. Quisiera dar gracias a los ministros
que ayudan con los funerales, los ministros
que preparan la comida despus de los funerales y tambin a los hermanos
que donan la comida. Gracias por todas las obras buenas que hacen a
escondidas y sin mucho reconocimiento. Ustedes ofrecen una
hospitalidad a nuestras familias abatidas de tristeza por la prdida de un
ser querido.
Que las almas de los fieles difuntos, por la misericordia de Dios descansen
en paz.

community advancing our faith by
making the Word of God come
alive through prayer,
liturgy, education,
evangelization, and stewardship.

Monica Church has an Immigrant

Helping The Lords
Pantry The Lord's Pantry depends on the non-
perishable foods we bring in each week
and put in the blue food bin in the
Narthex. The Pantry services around 100
clients each week, every Tuesday
morning from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at

St. Martin de Porres Mass &
Pitch-In St. Martin was a Dominican lay brother
who lived in Peru from 1579-1639. He
was the son of a Spanish nobleman and a
freed Panamanian slave woman of
African descent. St. Martin spent most of
his life humbly serving the sick, the
enslaved and the poor.
On Monday, November 3, St. Anthony
Parish, located at 337 N Warman Ave., is
celebrating the feast day of St. Martin de
Porres at 7:00 PM with a Mass presided
over by Archbishop Tobin. Following the
Mass there will be a pitch-in dinner;
everyone is asked to bring a dish from
your native country to share. For more
information, contact the Archdiocese at
317-236-1474.
November 8-9 is Intention Weekend for the United
Catholic Appeal The Archdiocese goal of $5.7 million is critical to support Catholic education, faith
formation, and vocations in central and southern Indiana. St. Monicas goal for the
appeal is $202,268. Registered parishioners should have received a mailing from the
Archdiocese of Indianapolis regarding the 2014 United Catholic Appeal. Please
prayerfully consider your gift to the United Catholic Appeal so we can continue to build
up the kingdom of God throughout the Archdiocese. Please bring your intention card
and envelope to Mass next weekend.

Craine House Holiday Wish List Our Neighbors at Craine House have a Holiday Wish List. They would like to give gift
bags to every woman in residence and they have a growing need for food for daily
meals. Please donate as generously as you are able. The collection of items from this
Holiday Wish List will be in the Narthex on the weekend of November 29 & 30. You
may also donate at the Advent Sunday Supper on November 30. The Wish List is in
this Bulletin, online and in the Narthex.
About Craine House: Craine House is a not-for-profit agency, a work-release
correctional facility for nonviolent female offenders and their preschool-aged children.
Craine House is truly a Work of Mercy on behalf of women who have lost their way,
committed a crime, and need to rebuild their lives. While living with their
preschool-aged children and meeting regularly with older children, the women
completing their court-ordered sentence at Craine House must find work, finish their
high school education, and participate in counseling and parenting classes. They have to
use public transportation and find their own child care. The program is highly structured
with little free time for the women: it is extremely monitored and strict (like any
correctional facility) as the women learn to turn their lives around. The best part of
Craine House is the proven effectiveness: women really are able to make a new life,
become good mothers, and end generations of poverty, abuse, and addiction. Ongoing
financial support is one very important need. Food has become another big need: since
moving across the street from St. Monica, Craine House expanded capacity from nine to
forty women and their children and the sources of food have not kept pace. There are
some limited volunteer opportunities including making deliveries, tutoring, childcare,
and mentoring. Visit www.crainehouse.org or call Anne Corcoran at 253-2193,ext. 5 for
more information.
Holiday Wish List Craine House depends on the generosity of our community to meet the needs of the
women and children we serve. This year, we would like to put together one holiday gift
bag for each of the forty women at Craine House. The following is a list of items we
would like to include for each resident as well as holiday needs for our facility:
Residents Bus Passes
Roll of Quarters
Socks
BPA Free Acrylic Hot/ Cold Covered Tum-
blers
